Tranquility in Midtown

We'll visit several beautiful churches, including a serene all-white chapel; two tranquil pocket parks with impressive waterfalls; some lovely indoor spaces; and virtually all the lavish art--over 40 works, by far the city's largest display of public art--in Rockefeller Center, most of which I'll bet you've never seen or understood before, no matter how often you've visited this familiar spot. Special treat: A bizarre scene on the rear wall of St. Patrick's Cathedral!

LUNCH: Bring your own. We'll eat in a pocket park, starting at around 2:30 PM. So eat a big breakfast or bring a snack to tide you over till then.

ENDING TIME: Around 4 PM, but you can leave earlier, of course.

COST: $1 to help cover Meetup's $360 annual oranizer fee.............
